Jemma McKenzie-Brown
It is pointless to revert the removal of the link to the image in the article Jemma McKenzie-Brown. The image itself has been deleted. The link to the image is worthless without the image. - SummerPhD (talk) 16:52, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Disruptive revert
Please explain your reasons for this unexplained revert of constructive edits. You may need to review the Wikipedia's policy on reverting at WP:REV. 69.165.248.100 (talk) 22:08, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * my apologies. I should have examined the edits of yours. Sorry.  :) --Intelati (talk) 22:17, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Just a friendly reminder, please be careful with named refs; this edit broke another ref instance. ¦ Reisio (talk) 21:38, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi..sorry about the row error. I think i put a blank space. Cool you play in an orchestra. That is a great skill to have, to be able to blend with all the other instruments (your home page says you play in an orchestra).OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 00:03, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * yes i am in an orchestra. These little things bug me as I am in school still.--intelati 00:05, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I think i mistakenly took out some "Rowspan 2" commands. I didn't realize at first what they do. Now I see that they group multiple rows under one heading, for example if he does 2 films in one year. Good luck with your orchestral studies and schoolOnBeyondZebrax (talk) 00:16, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

WP:NASCAR
Hello, I would like to ask you if you would like to join WikiProject NASCAR, a collaboration area and open group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of NASCAR and other related topics. By joining here, you can have a chance to add User WP NASCAR to your user page, but before so, you may want to read how you can help. Please join. Thank you and Happy Editing. ~  Nascar 1996   Contributions /  Guestbook  01:32, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Please explain why pop culture references in fiction related to each of the Wikipedia articles listed in the heading of this comment are not considered constructive and were reverted. Thank you.Lydiadavis (talk) 17:46, 17 August 2010 (UTC)lydiadavis
 * there are no references for the "pop culture references." None in the Richard Yates article or a Google search. If you can find a reliable source then feel free to add the sections back.  Thanks-- in te la ti  17:51, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. - F ASTILY  (T ALK ) 00:42, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Henry the Navigator
Intelati, I noticed that you reverted an edit on Henry the Navigator, that just reverted to vandalism. I'm not sure if you did that purposely or what? Endofskull (talk) 18:09, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Your request for rollback
Hi. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing!  F ASTILY  (T ALK ) 03:56, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Facepunch Studios
Hi, I just created the Facepunch Studios page, and I notice you put a advertising template on it. I'm new so I've probably done a terrible job, but I was wondering what I've done with the page... I tried to follow the rules as best I could. If you could help, it'd be great. SorryForN00b (talk) 21:59, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Why I hate Pending Changes

 * Adds another newcomer-unfriendly layer of bureaucracy
 * Utterly useless against long-term abusers (such as Bambifan101) and spammers
 * Creates a psychologically-based distrust for IPs and new users in controversial areas
 * Has the potential to turn into a form of censorship
 * Reinforces a Citizendium-style hierarchy (whether that was the intent or not)
 * Inadequate means to protect reviewers (or any user en generale) from off-site harassment, causing an even worse "Defender of the Holy Wiki" mentality

—Jeremy  (v^_^v PC/SP is a show-trial!) 03:03, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Any suggestions to change that?-- in te la ti 03:05, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * None. All of these are either psychological issues or linked to the core foundation of any FR implementation. Remove the former and you create reviewer bots that will miss things and render it useless. Remove the latter and FR dies. —Jeremy  (v^_^v PC/SP is a show-trial!) 03:06, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * How about as a sort of Semi-protection for lightly watched pages? It allows IP's to edit, while allowing the "trusted"(for lack of a better word) editors to "review" the changes.  I personly think this fulfills that purpose.-- in te la ti  03:09, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That falls foul of my 5th point above ("Reinforces a Citizendium-style hierarchy"). —Jeremy  (v^_^v PC/SP is a show-trial!) 03:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It still allows the IP to edit, while weeding out the trouble makers. Not all IPs are bad see but this allows the good to be seen and the bad not-- in te la ti  03:13, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I've seen good IPs, and it is for them that I oppose FlaggedRevs. Also, as I noted above, long-term abusers can either circumvent (via autocon-buster accounts) or overload (such as what User:JarlaxleArtemis constantly does by recruiting 4chan) FR, making it even worse for the good IPs. —<font color="228B22">Jeremy <font color="00008B"> (v^_^v PC/SP is a show-trial!) 03:17, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll suggest you make your suggestions to wiki. I'm sorry if I raised your stress level.  But I hop you reconsider the Pending changes for the good.-- in te la ti  03:19, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * My only "suggestion" would be to shut the extremely flawed thing down for good. —<font color="228B22">Jeremy <font color="00008B"> (v^_^v PC/SP is a show-trial!) 03:24, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Please be careful with which pending changes you accept. This edit to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (film) was changing a word from British English to American English, while the entire page was in Brit English. BOVINEBOY 2008 04:45, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Hi, um... so you want to have a chat about "nothing"? Nations United (talk) 05:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I'm from Canada, and I assumed you were too considering you are part of Wiki-project Nova Scotia. One question though. Are we even allowed to have social conversations on Wikipedia? Nations United (talk) 19:25, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I can download Google Chrome but I just prefer Firefox. So, what other topics do you want to talk about? By the way, thanks for the link. Nations United (talk) 19:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I have Norton Security and I don't want to disable it to use Twinkle. I have rollback rights anyway so I don't really need it anymore. Nations United (talk) 19:46, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll take another look at it and maybe try it out again. Thanks for the tip. Nations United (talk) 19:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm a relatively new user. I only started editing in January and it looks like you have been editing since 2008. Are you sure you want me too look it over? And by look over do you mean just read it, or look for any mistakes? Nations United (talk) 20:05, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. I'll try my best to look for any typos and I'll tell you if any parts seem confusing. Nations United (talk) 20:14, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That's going to be a very useful tool in the future. Nations United (talk) 20:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I was busy but I reviewed the article and corrected any spelling and grammar mistakes. As for it making sense, I don't know one thing about NASCAR so I can't tell if it is the right information and makes sense, but grammatically it makes sense to me.

Death Threat, Who is the vandal?
Okay, sorry for my death threat at Liran33. I don't know who is that person. He was vandalizing Wormmon, and i don't tolerate those who vadalize anything related to Wormmon.

It was LIRAN33 who was vandalizing the article not me, so i don't see a reason for your Reversion,

—Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.40.82.28 (talk) 21:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * it was LIRAN33 who added fake info
 * What i actually did was REVERTING HIS VANDALISM and you reverted me.

Thanks for the reverts. I had enough of me trying to revert the article to normal standards with im and 3RR. I bet you reported him to AIV? Buggie111 (talk) 02:38, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 12:13, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Windows Phone 7 clensing
You are hereby notified of the discussion involved Windows Phone 7 at Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive637 Illegal Operation (talk) 03:12, 8 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, I am such an idiot. Ignore this post.

How will we know when action has been taken by an editor to fix the Windows Phone 7 article? I'd love to start editing and cleaning it again, but not until I am confident my changes won't promptly be reverted (most likely by Lester). I'm not really a heavy Wikipedia editor so I don't know how this stuff works.CaptainStack (talk) 21:25, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, guess I was a bit hasty. I've talked about it a lot before, but you're right. I'll post in the talk page. Do you think I should remove it until there has been more discussion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CaptainStack (talk • contribs) 23:57, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to thank you for helping with, and being so dedicated to the Windows Phone 7 page. The content was a mess, and the editors were practically fist fighting. There's a lot of work to be done, and when the OS is released, who knows what will happen, but for now I think the page is presentable and improving. It wouldn't have been possible without editors like you working on the page. CaptainStack (talk) 00:06, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Mentoring

 * Fully agreed with Neutralhomer's wonderful advice, I always look to an experienced editor or admin or three for additional advice in case I run into a situation I am not sure how to deal with. I've (on multiple occassions) bugged the likes of SarekOfVulcan, Fastily, xeno, jmlk17, Draeco and others. Sometimes, it's not even to find answers to questions, but to get their perspectives so I can evaluate my own understanding. Dunno if that helps, but I do know having others to turn to when I interact in problem situations has been helpful to me. It's also a nice way of getting someone else involved if you think someone else's perspective may be better at conveying things. And of course, I'm always around if you need help, so, you can add me to the list of people willing to help out if you need it. If I dont know the answer, I will be sure to make up something that sounds good pass you on to someone else. Best, R OBERT M FROM LI  TALK/CNTRB 05:10, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Good for you for taking on the mentoring role. My best advice is to try to get a sense of the trigger situations that get your mentee in trouble and keep an eye for those situations. Feel free to ring me up as well if you need help with this.-- Kubigula (talk) 03:39, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
